Game Info

 

The ALIENATORS are back! And they have overrun the Jupiter Command Substation.

 

It's up to Jumpman Junior with his speed and jumping ability, to defuse the bombs planted

 

throughout the twelve levels.

 

Your strategy is important, analyze each screen before you begin, but don't take too long,

 

the more quickly you clear the screen the more bonus points you get.

 

Maneuver up and down the ladders, ropes, and dumbwaiters.

 

Watch out for the electrocution traps, moving walls, hellstones and the ever present enemy

 

bullets. If you think you can handle all that, be prepared for the hurricane winds that blow you

 

off course every time you jump.

 

 

Hints from the manual:

 

Moving Jumpman Junior

Pushing the joystick forwards makes him climb up ladders.

Pulling your stick back towards yourself makes him climb down ladders.

Push the stick left, he moves left..to the right, and he moves right.

Jumpman Junior leaps when you press the left button. If the stick is pushed

forward, he will jump straight up (often a necessary maneuver when a bullet comes up your way)!

When you press the left button and simultaneously push the stick to the right, Jumpman

Junior wil leap to the right. Press the button and push the stick left, and Jumpman will jump left.

But beware-if Jumpman Junior leaps short of the structure he is trying to reach, if he jumps off

the screen or falls too far, KABAM... another life will be lost.

Scoring

When your Jumpman Junior reaches a bomb and defuses it, you score 100 points.

(Jumpman Junior must actually touch the bomb in order to defuse it.)

After you successfully completed a level, additional points are added to your score

for each Jumpman you have left. The number of points you win varies from level to level.

They range from 25 points on Level 1, to 300 points on Level 12. You also receive Bonus

points for the time remaining on your time clock.

An additional Jumpman is awarded every time a player scores 7,500 points.

Special Hints

UP ROPE Jumpman Junior automatically climps up. He can't go down this rope.

DOWN ROPE Jumpman Junior automatically climbs down. He can't go up this rope.

I thought I'd play one more game and 3 1/2 hours later I ended with a new personal best of 502,375

 

...and I thought duncantoml gets a little bit tired this season!

 

my best score is 8,675

never played this game before- not one of my all-time Colecovision favorite games...

the colors are really ugly!

My final score - 24550

 

 

 

 

 

 

Darn - Id like to watch a video (or something) of how duncantomi gets by all of the 'random' bullets that 'take you out' once in a while. I've started the zig-zag level with 5 lives and gotten out with only 1!!! How do you do it!? as I said earlier 'You are the MAN!'

 

Love my COLECOVISION.

 

Can't wait for PAC-MAN COLLECTION from OpCode.
